[Q] How to root i337 (mf3)? can it be rooted?

Hello guys!
I've got samsung galaxy s4 i337 unlocked ((mf3))
When I bought it they told me that I cant root it or I will lose it
Can you help me?

Did you search at all for an answer? Try that and I'm sure you'll find it.
Ok, here's a hint, Google "root method mf3 xda"

If you cant find out how to root a the device than you probably shooting be attempting to root it at all. If that's what you mean by did it work for you.
Not to be mean but a huge clue/hint was given to you. Go back and look in the Q&A section. There is a sticky that can help.

Dude... Did you even read the rules? Stop spamming this. Do not necro post either. Post the question once. There is no need to bring back an old thread and then post this exact question 2 more times on its own.

[Q] Couple questions I have about rooting MK2

I am sorry if these questions have been asked before but I couldn't find the particular answers that I wanted. Please pardon me if any of these questions are noob questions.
1.) Are there MK2 TAR files that I can download just in case I mess something up and need to flash back using ODIN?
2.) I know that MF3 made it impossible to downgrade back to MDL, but if I have the MF3 TAR files (which I do) can I at least downgrade from
MK2 to MF3?
3 (Optional).) What ROMs work with rooted MK2? Is there some sort of list? Or do the ROMs that worked with MF3 work with MK2?
Thank you for all of your answers. Again I am sorry if some/all of these questions have been asked and/or answered before. I have been searching for the answers on many forums for the past two days and couldn't find someone who asked the same questions. I am also sorry if any of these are noob questions. I just started getting into rooting of the S4 in early November and I know that I still have a lot to learn.

1: yes
2: no
3: there is SS 1.70. It is in beta and is hit and miss. No list of ROMs. You cannot install a custom recovery of custom ROMs.

Thanks for taking the time out and giving straight answers. I have one more question though: Do you by any chance know the download link to the MK2 TAR files?

It is located in the general section. Also, SS has been updated to 1.71. Still in beta.

I am sorry but I can't find the TAR files for it. All I can find is the recovery.img and the thread says no ODIN. I am really sorry for being a noob but I can't seem to find it.

Use this. http://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=23269279319196595
Place it on The SD card. And go to the stock recovery to flash.

Thanks a lot! Is there a way to flash with ODIN yet though just in case I am stuck in a boot loop and I can't reach the stock recovery because I have been in that position before when I was in MF3 and I had to use ODIN. If there isn't that's fine, I'll just be extra careful. Thank you for all your help and this is my last question.

Not that I know of.

New SAFEROOT method question

I see the New SAFEROOT method out on another thread and read through some comments. I am new to rooting and was wondering if simply rooting my s4 device will delete any data. I just need to root my i337 on the latest band to tether. Thanks in advanced.

Will not delete any data. SafeRoot is by far the simplest root method for the s4 right now.

i m searching for half an hour.. y wnt u help by just passing me a link?

You are not searching.
and because by handing ppl links for every single question will not benefit the community overall as members would rather make a new thread to a topic that has been covered numerous times instead of searching and learning.

rooting has not effect on MMS and data. Over WiFi try ##72786# in dialer. this will reactivate your phone and reboot twice.
